Regarding driver name font, is it Adobe gothic standard bold (the one provided) or bank gothic medium bt (as in the readme)? Latter is available for free and would look better imo.

Please use the ones that are already there

The numbers are in Impact, and I'm pretty sure the names on the doors are the same.

Don't worry about the window numbers and names because I'll sort them out in the final skin pack.

dtx5 is the compression format. I'm not sure how photoshop works but when you try to save your .psd file as a .dds file there should be an option somewhere there to choose between different formats (DXT1, DXT3, DXT5 etc).

Check THIS post from Chris please.
You need to install the nvidia plugin first before you can save as .dds.

Nick, there should be a drop down menu at the top with the different DTX settings. Below is the window in Photoshop, not sure if it is what you're using. But the Nvidia plugin should be the same...

You can place logos on the Windows, but please make sure that when adding your name and number, you leave the text font and size that is in the psd by default as is. If those change, then I'll be overwriting the ext_glass.dds and you'll lose your logos. The name and number format on the Windows must all be the same for every driver.

Everything else on the body (aside from the RD logos and VSCC logo), you can go to absolute town with

I think it's best if you just meet up with someone on Teamspeak (I'm happy to meet with you tomorrow evening if you like) as it'll save you a heap of time and frustration.
